Prayer Life and Bible Study
Our course starts out with a
prayer and because prayer is so important to finding the right life recipe,
that is where we begin the course itself.
Often during crisis, we turn to
God in prayer. Very often, we will have
to dust off our Bible before we can read it in the rare times we turn to our
Bible. One of the biggest parts of a
life recipe is to have an active prayer life, including daily Bible reading and
devotion.
Individual Prayer
Individuals should each take time
throughout the day to pray. We should
also have our personal Bible reading and devotion.
This is a great time to actually
dig into the Bible. Some study Bibles
will have some background information.
As an individual, one should search the scriptures, follow the footnotes,
or read a good study guide, and really get into the Bible.
Couple Prayer Time
Couples should share prayer time,
Bible reading, and devotion. This is a
very important part of a good life recipe.
During the Bible and prayer time, couples should discuss what they are
reading and studying very much like they are in a Sunday school class.
Obtaining a Bible study lesson or
daily devotional reading like Our
Daily Bread or In
Touch is a very good idea. In addition, an in-depth look at your
upcoming Sunday school lesson for the next Sunday may be beneficial. Get yourself a good Bible commentary like one
written by J. Vernon McGee
or another author who interests you. You can also get great devotionals delivered to your email each day from Tyndale Rewards. With Tyndale Rewards you can also earn books free.
Review materials related to your chosen area of study
and read those during your personal prayer and devotion time. Bring these together to the couple Bible
discussion.
